Ghanaian Greetings

Hello all! Hope that the week went well for you all. It
was a wonderful week here in Kojokrom. We got fed quite a bit this
week and that was really nice. We got fed fufu a few times, rice balls,
banku. It was pretty nice. But yeah. This week I went on splits with
Elder Pearmain in my area. That was fun. We were blessed with a
pretty good day. But yeah... the highlight of my week was yesterday, my
birthday. Two of the members, Gloria and Julie, made doughnuts for
everyone at church for my birthday and stuff. I was fun to be able to
be here in Kojokrom for my birthday. I also had someone make me a photo
album and bead tie. It was way cool. Then today we went to the
Julanders and watched 17 Miracles. Powerful movie that I would suggest
everyone to see. It was way good. People have been treating me well.

This
past week I have been studding about Diligence and being consecrated to
the Lord. One thing is that we must put everything on the alter of
sacrifice. We must do all that we can. A story I like is that of Roger
Bannister. He was the first one to break the four minute mile. But he
had to be diligent leaving everything he had to accomplish the task at
hand. That is at times, what we all must do.

Well, I love you all!
